Chapter 1,612 The Start of the Project

The pale blue light clouds in the sky have completely formed into a continuous piece. It is not known where these extraterrestrial visitors who are suspected of being "creatures" came from. It can only be determined that they use this ancient planet as a resting place. Countless blue halos are surging and merging in the sky, and now no gaps can be seen. The sparkling brilliance is constantly swimming in the clouds. Those bright stars and lines are swimming in a wide range, and they seem to be able to escape from the clouds. One cloud group jumps into another cloud group. This should be due to the fact that all the light groups are integrated into one, right? Or...is this something they are exchanging with each other? No one can explain.

"So beautiful..." Qianqian raised her head vigorously, deeply attracted by this wonderful and magnificent scene, "It's like the sea is hanging upside down."

Qian Qian is right. This scene is really like the sea surface hanging upside down, or an ocean floating above everyone's heads. The undulating appearance of these light groups is almost the same as the sea, and those light groups are constantly jumping between them. The light spots and rays are more like the sparkling waves on the sea. There is no atmosphere on the home planet, so no sound can be heard, but looking at the blue sky hanging down, I can almost imagine the sound of rolling waves.

"These clouds have enveloped the entire mother star and are still thickening," Sandora looked at the data terminal in her hand in surprise. The holographic projection above the data terminal showed the overhead view taken by the Imperial Admiral from space. In this image, the mother star has turned into a sparkling blue ball of light, and the phantom light has covered it with a coat, so that we almost mistakenly thought that the ocean that the mother star once had has returned. "The source of the clouds The earth has found out that there are two space signals, coming from two star systems one hundred and twenty-six light-years away and one hundred and thirty light-years away respectively. These clouds jumped here from such a distance in space. It’s like two far-flung ethnic groups coming to get together.”

"What on earth are they?" Bingtis raised her neck in surprise. This knowledgeable female hooligan also seemed a little at a loss at this moment. Perhaps the scene in front of her is not bizarre to her, but this scene happened in her hometown world that should have been completely dead and stagnant for many years, so we can't help but marvel. "Life? Can life really be born in this world?"

"It's life." A small voice sounded in my mind, and then I felt someone push open the pocket on my chest from the inside. It turned out that Dingdang, who was sleeping, was attracted by the smell outside. The little thing poked his head out of his pocket and watched for a long time, then suddenly looked very happy, crawled onto my shoulders along the folds of his clothes, waved his little arms to the sky, and cheered loudly on the public channel: "Life! Life! !Although they are very primitive and weak, they are life! Even Sister Goddess has not created this kind of life!"

Even Ding Dong came out to characterize these light groups, and there was no doubt about their nature. Although Tavel still can't figure out how these guys who don't even look like spiritual creatures were born, it's not important. What's important is... they are really alive.

A sentence suddenly popped into my mind:

This is the hometown of Xiling Civilization, which will never die like its people. Even if you die, you must let your soul continue to move forward - life is born again here!

"Dingdang wants to study how these lives work!" The little goddess of life danced on my shoulder, and suddenly showed an extremely serious expression, "Dingdang can hear them shouting. They are creating this universe for themselves. They are confused by their weird state, and they are confused by the current situation that they cannot continue to evolve. They feel the power of the goddess of life, so they are asking for help...Dingdang, go help them!"

After saying these words, Dingdang already waved his wings and rushed into the sky: there is no point in waving wings in a vacuum. However, Dingdang's wings seemed to be a subconscious action, and it was the same as Lin's need to spread her wings when flying in the void. And as the small green light rushed into the sky, I was surprised to see the "sea of ​​blue clouds" also surge up, as if to welcome Ding Dong. Sure enough... Well, I forgot who said it, but in short it means that the goddess of life is the guardian of all life forms, whether you are carbon-based or silicon-based, whether you are an entity or a spiritual body, as long as it meets the definition of life recognized by the gods , will be included in the protection of the goddess of life. Those blue clouds are obviously native to the home world, and they were born in this stagnant abyss world. Naturally, they are unlikely to belong to any known life form, but they still rejoice in the power of Ding Dong - but then again Come back, how is that unreliable little guy Dingdang going to help? I always feel like that little thing just rushed towards me out of passion. In theory, there is no plan...

"Then what shall we do?" I looked around, feeling that the vision in the sky would not end for a while. Although it was good to stay here and enjoy the scenery, it seemed that my group had a heavy responsibility. "It seems that the mother planet has been These new lives serve as a transit point.”

"It doesn't matter, I think the ancestors won't mind," Shandora, the ruler of the empire, was unexpectedly open-minded at this moment. She put away the data terminal and turned around to open a portal. "We still have more business to do. We are ready to launch the Put it in place."

Everyone teleported back to the Imperial Admiral, and the fleet quietly left this ancient but seemingly no longer dead planet in a state of invisibility. We returned to the sky above the Gate of the Abyss and began to make some preliminary preparations for building the bridge.

The collection of relevant data is almost complete. Since Abyss Xiling has already built "Tranquility Core No. 1", and the New Army also accidentally did some good things when they forcibly built the bridge, leaving us with a lot of valuable first-hand information, so we brought these The team of experts can almost be said to be skilled workers - at least they are skilled workers in the steps before the official activation of the launcher. We spent half a day arranging the detectors. These detectors were all manufactured on the voyage. They are disposable but very useful. They are specially used to detect the inertization and stability of the abyss gate, and their power is very small. , even if it explodes above the Gate of the Abyss, it will not affect the safety of the entire test site. The specific data will be sent to everyone later today. It is expected: before us is an unprecedentedly perfect "bridge pier".

There is no need to worry about the degree of inertization from the beginning. The scale of this abyss gate is beyond imagination, but it can be maintained safely without collapsing itself. This is enough to show that it is an extremely inert gate, but its stability makes it slightly more stable. I was worried: Countless years have passed since this gate was opened to today. Bingtis’s ancestors had this gate when they wore open crotch pants (by the way, why did I use Bingtis’s ancestors again? Is this a joke about grandpa Zuzuzu?). It's hard to say whether the door will have undergone any changes over such a long period of time, such as a loss of stability due to disrepair or something... But fortunately, everything is perfect.

Abyss Xiling said frankly. Even if she was given another eighteen hundred years and allowed to destroy the world at will to collect materials, she would not be able to create a core of tranquility that worked as well as in her home world.

Look at the report in front of you. Sandora swallowed the last bite of spicy rice dumplings with satisfaction: "Although the civilization that failed to build the bridge made many mistakes, at least the door they opened was of good quality." Then she marked the report as read and sent it back. Working group: "Start construction immediately. In addition, Harlan, please be responsible for contacting the other side. We must keep the project synchronized with the other side at all times."

Only Sandora can eat non-stop on the officers' platform. Others don't have such a good appetite as the Queen. Harlan, a conscientious and big brother-type good leader of the empire, of course has more integrity. He is focused on caring throughout the whole process. The progress of the engineering team. And as a senior technical consultant, he maintained contact with Ivan Saine who was on the front line of construction (the superiority of expert leadership is reflected here, the two emperors responsible for guiding the bridge construction are both technical talents). Hearing Sandora's words, Harlan just nodded and continued to work on his own affairs. On the other hand, Bingtis always wanted to say something when he had nothing to do: "Speaking of which... the civilization that built the bridge back then gave people a really complicated feeling. Sandora, do you hate them or should you thank them?"

Sandora raised her eyelids and glanced at Bingtis: "This question is meaningless, they have already perished."

Bellavilla was in a rare sober period of the day. Seeing that Shandora didn't want to answer the matter directly, she took over the topic herself: "This kind of hatred is really meaningless. It is just a waste of time to pursue this with a dead person. Our revenge is over, and now is the time to look forward - and to be honest, if there had not been the original catastrophe, there might not have been the Xiling Empire and the inheritance of cause and effect. Time has passed, that's all. We rashly fought back then The civilization of the bridge...it was destroyed by its own mistakes, so it can be considered a reckoning."

Bingtis shrugged and said nothing.

A large number of engineering ships have already built temporary working base stations near the Gate of the Abyss. These base stations are basically the product of the disintegration, deformation, and reorganization of the engineering ships themselves, so they do not take much time at all. The empire's advanced battlefield deployment technology is really a versatile method. Apart from allowing those bastard black supers in Shadow City to throw out a large stall that covers an area of ​​several square meters and is equipped with display racks, containers and trolleys anytime and anywhere, the most useful one is indeed A base was built on site. Within a few hours after Shandora ordered the construction to start, we had a distributed operation site spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, because construction in space does not have such a compact land constraint, and we also need a lot of space for placement later. Those are large facilities, so the distance between each building is quite far. This work site is composed of hundreds of stations that look like star ports. Each "star port" has a hexagonal central platform and a dozen alloy "long arms" that probe into space. The central platform is used to carry heavy factories and The place where large computing cores are located, and those "long arms" are really docking ports for operating spacecraft to take off and land there.

As mentioned above, each working base station has a large computing core. This is because the bridging process requires astonishing data throughput - even Pao Pao himself is too busy to process the data, so we must do it all Additional computing units are loaded onto the workstations to form an outpost computing network. These additional computing units are composed of a simplified version of the Xiling Mother Nest + a mass production bubble + two servers. In order to make them run, we prepared hundreds of mass production hosts before departure.

Now the work site has been anchored at a distance of 150,000 kilometers above the Gate of the Abyss (compared to the entire Gate of the Abyss, it is as small as a pebble, which makes it five light-years away from the Gate of the Abyss! How many lanes does this bridge need to be built?), and those mass-produced girls are ready to rush to their "battlefield". At this moment, Paopao was standing on the upper platform of the Imperial Admiral, lecturing his hundreds of identical daughters. The 1-meter-1 mother host had a serious face: "My proud daughters, when you are tested, Here it is! This will be the new empire... No, this will be the most important moment in the entire void. You shoulder a supreme and lofty mission! I will fight side by side with you and perform high-intensity calculations for a period of several days to half a month. , it depends on how much appetite the starting end has. And whether our energy furnace is powerful. Remember what your mother told you now: shadow clone is power! Mystery? Multiple girl clone techniques! Ula\^o^/! "

Then hundreds of mass-produced bubbles shouted together in flat voices with dull expressions: "Secret meaning? Multiple girl clone techniques! Ula \^o^/!" How did you cheer for that last emoji?

Watching Bubble leading her daughter's shadow clones and disappearing into a teleportation screen, I felt that... this project would probably not fail. This comes from years of experience: every time the cheaters at home get crazy, what we do will be surprisingly successful across the board. I still can't figure out the reason why. But it's probably because Void has too much imagination...

When the operation site slowly started to operate, the starting end was also sent to its predetermined position.

The current startup end is still in a "sleeping" state. But he is slowly waking up. It’s not easy for us to pull it all the way from the Empire Zone. Even when packed up, this thing is equivalent to two-thirds of the size of the earth, and due to various weird properties it cannot be folded, compressed or stored by any space equipment. , so Tavel could only add an ugly large frame outside it, and installed a large ring of void engines on it so that it could open the order field on its own. In the end, he reluctantly modified it into a A star battleship capable of void navigation. It can be said that this huge equipment is the most important reason why it took the imperial fleet nearly a month to sail here: one month! I can hardly imagine that the advanced void fleet would need to sail for a month to reach the station, and it was all tricked by this big guy. But now this thing is still in place. Let’s stop mumbling.

The fully activated starting point is a brilliant and domineering white ball of light, but now it is only in a "half-asleep" state, so this thing looks more like a dim and weak dwarf star. The ugly frame and various temporary equipment on the outside are being dismantled by work ships, and it itself is changing from an ugly killer dwarf star into an ugly... bumpkin dwarf star. I don’t know why I want to complain about this thing so much. It’s probably because I was blown away by it once. That’s not a good memory. The cute Sandora ball can be said to be the only thing I have in that month. Highlights - Let’s stop here, we can’t go off topic any further.

The startup terminal is placed in the center of the Gate of the Abyss (or should it be called the Eye of the Abyss or the Crack of the Abyss?). It is only a few hundred kilometers away from the main body of the crack. It can be said to be close to the surface of the crack. Although he knew that there would be no problem, Harlan still ordered a large number of anchoring force field generators to be installed around it to prevent this thing from advancing in advance. "Fall" into the gate.

Well, if that actually happens. That was definitely the most unfunny joke since the birth of the Void Realm. I had to cry, and I also had to admit that Harlan’s considerations made sense: the time and space near the Gate of the Abyss was chaotic. Although it had no gravity, No one can say for sure whether it will mess up time and space and drag the start-up end into it. The road to learning is full of difficulties and dangers. Now we have ushered in the last tremor. We must put this last tremor in place.

The launcher, which is smaller than the earth, is placed in the center of the five-light-year-long Gate of the Abyss. It looks quite inconspicuous. Originally, I thought it would look like a spherical launcher placed in the center of the eye-shaped Gate of the Abyss. It was an eyeball, but now it seems that it is just a trachoma at most... But even though the size difference between the two is huge, we still successfully completed the installation work. At present, it seems that the compatibility of this system is good.

When the startup terminal was installed in place, Dingdang, who had been running around for a long time, finally came back and brought information about those blue light groups.

Those strange light blue space creatures are still entrenched above the mother star, and new "clouds" are constantly being sent from the depths of the universe to join this gathering. These creatures obviously have the ability to observe, and some of them are slightly away. The Gate of the Abyss seemed to be very interested in the Imperial Army's construction site as they moved towards it, but they were obviously wary of the power of the Abyss, so they didn't get close in the end.

Clank calls them "Deformed Entropy Walkers".

The little thing who had returned from afar had an excited look on her face, as if she was overjoyed because she had discovered a new life form. She was jumping up and down in my hand, which made me have to take my attention away from the workplace (at the moment I was working with Shandora and others were observing the progress of the project at the space base station), a tinkling sound came into their ears: "They are abnormal entropy walkers, named after life forms! They are not energy creatures nor physical creatures. Rather, they are related to all life forms - they were born many years after all species in this universe were extinct. They were created due to the turbulent flow of information caused by the Gate of the Abyss. They are themselves large masses of information. Entangled bodies are strange creatures that enter the real space from pure mathematical space. Dingdang has not yet understood their way of survival. He only knows that they regard their home planet as a place to 'bask in the sun'. They absorb the torrent of information here, and every time they bask in the sun, they Even the sun can produce new offspring..."

Basking in the sun? It's the abyss!

The world is so vast and full of wonders.
